KDE audio higher than 100%

I don’t know about anyone else, but the default sound limitations are a tad too conservative for my laptop. The sound is so faint at times I can hardly hear it on my Razer Blade 2015. So if you want to boost the sound you can enable it past 100%, but be warned you also run the risk of harming your speakers if you aren’t careful.

So if you wish to proceed simply install Kmix if you are using Kubuntu and then enable “Overdrive”, you can do that by clicking on the system tray icon for sound, which you might have two now since Kmix isn’t normally installed any more and then clicking on the config button in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the General icon in the window that pops open. You should then see a checkbox that is the “Enable Overdrive”

After this point you have to restart kmix/pulseaudio. You can easily do that by simply restarting, or if you know how just restart it manually.

UPDATE : A patch is on the way for the new sound widget so this won’t be required. For more information visit – click here

I'm a programer, auto painter, trader, farmer, father, and futurist. I really like PHP for web development. For desktop/mobile development in my mind there is only 1 solution and that is Qt. If you haven't heard of it go download it for FREE :D It is a C++ framework with great development tools. I have a 66 mustang that I have been working on and fixing for the last 2 years. I am very interesting in the future of farming. I also have a daughter. If you want to know why I am a futurist check out The Venus Project.
